AIR BAGS

I am submitting a vehicle safety complaint regarding my 2011 Nissan Versa SL. VIN: [XXX] Incident Date: XXX Time: Approximately 7:30 a.m. While driving to work and making a right turn from [XXX] onto [XXX], the driver-side airbag suddenly deployed without a collision or impact. Prior to the deployment, the vehicle experienced abnormal electrical symptoms involving the steering wheel. The horn had previously stopped working and later began sounding continuously. After the airbag deployed, I noticed a burning odor, and approximately 20 minutes later, the inside of the steering-wheel/airbag area was still very hot. I disconnected the negative battery cable as a safety precaution. My insurance company referred the vehicle to Caliber Collision, where an SRS diagnostic scan showed: B1049 – CURRENT – Driver Airbag Module OPEN B1057 – CURRENT – Driver Airbag Module SHORT B1050/B1055 – HISTORY – Driver Airbag VB-SHORT B1051/B1056 – HISTORY – Driver Airbag GND-SHORT B1013 – HISTORY – Control Unit I photographed the scan results. Caliber informed me that they do not repair this type of SRS/electrical malfunction. I am concerned that an airbag deployed without a crash or impact while the vehicle was in motion, accompanied by abnormal electrical symptoms and multiple SRS fault codes. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this incident as a potential vehicle safety defect and determine whether similar incidents have been reported involving the 2011 Nissan Versa or related SRS components.

Tracy, CA Crash

AIR BAGS

On September 11th, my wife was involved in a car accident while driving her 2011 Nissan Versa. The collision resulted in the vehicle rolling over and ending up upside down. Shockingly, none of the airbags deployed during this serious incident. A family member recommended that I report this to Nissan, which I promptly did. However, their response, received last Friday, was rather concerning. According to Nissan, the airbags were not designed to deploy in the event of a rollover crash, and they suggested there was no further action to be taken on their end. Today, I consulted with an attorney's office regarding this matter, and they advised me to report the incident to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as a crucial step. Consequently, I am submitting these details to NHTSA to ensure that this incident is properly documented and investigated. Safety is paramount, and I believe it is essential to bring attention to this situation so that appropriate actions can be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND AFTER THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY DONE BECAUSE AFTER THIS I'M NOT EVEN POSITIVE THEY WORKED ON MY CAR FOR THAT RECALL. AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE NOW THE CAR HORN IN MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOT WORKING WHEN IT WAS WORKING BEFORE. THE NISSAN ADVISOR SAID THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE IS AN OLD CAR. THEY WANT ME TO PAY ALMOST 700 HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THEM TO FIX WHAT THEY RUINED. NOW I HAVE NO CAR HORN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE ON THE ROAD. A CAR HORN WORKS TO ADVICE OTHER DRIVERS OF ANY HAZARD. FROM THIS HAPPENING TO ME I NOW THINK THAT THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG RECALLS AND THAT I JUST TOOK MY CAR JUST FOR THEM TO SCAM ME SO I CAN PAY FOR A PART THAT WAS WORKING AND THAT THEY RUINED. THE NISSAN I WENT TOO IS NAPLES NISSAN IN NAPLES, FLORIDA.
